The Selwyn Basin in the Yukon, Canada, has several occurrences of Paleozoic alkaline volcanic rocks that are spatially and temporally associated with Zn-Pb deposits. The volcanics are represented by ocean island basalt (MacMillan Pass, Misty Creek Embayment), enriched mid ocean ridge basalt (Keno Hi...
